Film No. 57 (2017) Maudie. August 2nd.

Film No. 57 (2017) August 2nd.  6:30 PM Greater Union Event Cinema,  Innaloo.


"I got everything I want with you Ev, everything". (Maude responds to her husband's words stating she could do a lot better than him).






A love story of the highest order set in the film rich landscape of Nova Scotia, Canada. Ethan Hawke and Sally Hawkins play the real life couple Everett and Maud Lewis in a story so rich with emotion only the hardest hearted will walk from the cinema un-moved. There's little back story to Maudie but the film will have you googling this world renown folk artist within minutes of the titles. Both Hawkins and Hawke convincingly build this unlikely romance; their brilliance may well secure each an Oscar accolade. This heart-warmer will have travelers passing through Nova Scotia seeking out the Halifax gallery where the largest display of Maud Lewis's pieces are held; pieces which she never sold for more than $10 while she lived. Maudie is a cracker! 10GUMS.
